Did he answer the real question? 

I mean, it's a short clip... and I'm thinking there was going to be more...

 

but he didn't even really get to explain quantum computers all that well...

 

 

at least he's excited about... we all should be

It was a pretty basic explanation.  Literally what anyone with one course of a class on the subject matter could regurgitate.  Regardless, it was pretty impressive to see him come up with the answer.

I don't see why people on either side of the political spectrum are so uppity about it.  He had a half-decent answer, it was surprising (though it could have been prepped), but why get pissy about it?  

It was a funny video in the sense that it came as somewhat of a surprise.  People really shouldn't read into it any more that that.

Look at it this way, how many presidential candidates here in the US would have even had a clue about answering a question on quantum computing?  At least the Canadian PM is going to be much smarter than the next US president.  That's a low bar to set but still, he's genuinely intelligent as far as I can see.

Except Bernie. Bernie is what the US needs

He's too far back in the delegate count.  Between Hillary taking New York on Tuesday and the Democratic "super delegates", Bernie has the deck highly stacked against him.

JT is an idoit, but the biggest idiots are the people who voted for him.

This is why he is able to give a decent response to a question about quantum computing and is also the leader of a nation.

 

Boy, I tihnk I had the wrong defintion of idiot. Oh wait! I see what you did you switched those letters up and it means the opposite! Ah, so clever..... (please note the sarcasm).

this guy just reaks of white privilege  

How's that? Using the knowledge he gained from his education to answer a question? Yup, that sure is white privilege because I only ever see white kids in school and universities and colleges.
